The best in White Sox coverage since 2005!
The margins for error in baseball are incredibly slim. So far this season, the White Sox have taken advantage of opportunities afforded to them, which is why they’re seeing success early in the season. Coming into tonight’s game, they knew they’d have to take advantage of their chances with budding Detroit ace Troy Melton on […]
Charlotte Knights 12, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 4Although Charlotte unleashed another storm of runs onto poor Jacksonville, the biggest headline is Jacob Gonzalez’s departure. He collected three hits, including his 19th bomb, and a stolen base before Jason Matthews replaced him in the sixth. Why, you may ask? Gonzalez’s removal lines up with Munetaka Murakami being […]
For the first time since May 2023, the White Sox will finish a month with a winning record — and they still have three games left to improve upon their total. After taking three of four from the Minnesota Twins at home, the White Sox look to push the lowly Tigers even further into the […]
As the most recent member of the 20 jacks club, Munetaka Murakami has proven that he’s the real deal. As the first rookie ever to blast 20 homers before June, Murakami quickly progressed from winning over White Sox fans’ hearts to gaining national traction. In less than two months, his name is already getting thrown […]
Charlotte Knights 12, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 5Charlotte (28-26) fell into a four-run pit, then stormed back with a 12-5 romp. Jacob Gonzalez, once again, front and center, and at this point the White Sox brass must be running out of excuses to keep him down. Gonzalez wasted no time, unloading his 17th bomb in the […]
It didn’t look like the feeble-hitting Twins would have much chance against Davis Martin, and that turned out to be right. And it didn’t look like the Sox would struggle against an emergency starter rushed into action very shortly before game time, and that turned out to be right, too. Especially thanks to the incompetence […]
If the White Sox aren’t all exhausted from running around the bases so much in last night’s 15-2 lambasting of the Twins, they’ve got an excellent chance to make it three out of four for the Minnesota visit today. Not only are the Chicago bats hot — okay, just for one game so far, but […]
Charlotte Knights 2, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 2 (Suspended in the fifth inning)The Knights (27-25) fell behind early but rallied to tie the game against the Jumbo Shrimp (29-23) before the weather got involved. The game got off to a rough start for Hagen Smith, who allowed a two-run homer in the top of the first. […]
After a tough loss in extras Tuesday evening, the White Sox put on a hitting clinic against the Twins, ending in a 15-2 blowout. David Sandlin pitched a gem through six innings, breaking franchise records, and both the small and long ball were prevalent tonight. There was even a grand slam! Believe it or not, […]
The White Sox look to take game three of this four-game set after dropping a game last night to the Twins. Yet another new face will make his debut tonight; this time, it’s pitcher David Sandlin. This debut is due to Noah Schultz’s injury; earlier this week, Schultz was placed on the 15-day injured list […]
1933 On the same day that the White Sox were awarded the very first All-Star Game, the club suffered their second-worst turnaround loss ever. Up 11-3 heading into the bottom of the eighth at Yankee Stadium, the White Sox surrendered 12 runs and wound up losing the game an inning later, 15-11. Ted Lyons surrendered […]
Charlotte Knights 4, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 0The Knights (27-25) leaned on a stellar night from the pitching staff and just enough timely offense to blank Jacksonville. Charlotte struck first in the second inning when Dru Baker showed off some thump, yanking his sixth homer of the season to bring home two runs and give the […]
The offense came up short for the Good Guys, going 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position in a frustrating 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Twins on the South Side tonight. This game had all the emotions: annoyance that the bats couldn’t ignite, excitement from a game-tying homer, shock after the go-ahead run was thrown out […]
The White Sox brought themselves back to a game above .500 after a rough road trip, and will aim to defeat the Minnesota Twins for the eighth time in a row tonight. Sean Burke had himself an excellent April — 2.73 ERA in 29 2/3 innings — but has fallen flat this month, holding a […]
1959White Sox owner Bill Veeck was always good for a crazy stunt, but this one topped the cake. Before a game hosting Cleveland and in front of 40,018 fans, four little people dressed up as Martians “landed” at Comiskey Park (via helicopter) and “captured” Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio. One of the Martians was 3´7´´ Eddie Gaedel. Terms were discussed for […]

After and exchange of long-ball offense early and then hanging on to a 3-1 win for the White Sox this Memorial Day. But the big play didn’t come from big bats but from 5´6´´ Rikuu Nishida, playing in his first major league game. The Sox and Twins traded solo homers by Brooks Lee and Munetaka […]
If a person of a certain age told you the 2026 Chicago White Sox would be .500 at Memorial Day, you would have thought dementia had arrived. If a person of any age told you the 2026 Minnesota Twins would be just one game under .500, you would have assumed the ingestion of a bunch […]
Last week you might recall that the weekly recap touched on the fact that it’s not every week the White Sox hit 15 home runs. There are also going to be weeks where they only hit four — and this week was one of them. The record of the West Coast trip reflects this lack […]
1912 In a sort of game we’ll never see again, the White Sox won a 17-inning game against Detroit, 5-4: Harry Lord led off the 17th with a double, was sacrificed to third by Walt Kuhn, and trotted home to end the nearly four-hour game on a fly ball to the wall/single from Ping Bodie. […]
Charlotte Knights 3, Gwinnett Stripers 2After stranding the bases loaded in the second and falling behind by two early, the Knights (26-25) finally broke through in the eighth to steal a 3-2 win. Charlotte got right to work. Dustin Harris singled, and Mario Camilletti walked in the second before Dru Baker reached on a botched […]
The mighty Casey may be fated to strike out sooner or later. Still, today was not that day, as Giants third baseman Casey Schmitt and first baseman Rafael Devers ran wild on Sox pitching this afternoon, driving in all eight San Francisco runs in the White Sox 8-5 loss to the Giants at Oracle Park. […]
A bullpen implosion for the South Siders Saturday led to the Giants tying the series at one, so the Good Guys will aim to bounce back today with a win to head home with a .500 record for their trip to the west coast (3-3). Lefthander Noah Schultz will be making his eighth start of […]
1917 Reb Russell threw a 12-inning shutout against the Senators, giving up 11 hits, striking out six, and walking none. Russell was helped by Ray Schalk gunning down all four of Washington’s attempts to steal second base. Oh, and at the plate, Russell also went 2-for-4 with a triple. 1929 In one of the greatest […]
Gwinnett Stripers 5, Charlotte Knights 1The Stripers (28-22) scored early, putting up five runs in the first three innings off of Knights (25-25) righthander Duncan Davitt, while the Charlotte offense couldn’t respond, and Gwinnett won their second game of the series, 5-1. Davitt recorded his second loss of the season and has consistently had a […]
